Efficiently measuring the liquids in factories is becoming a serious issue. With the increased amount of liquids being stored in one place, the factory storage areas are becoming a hub of a combination of lethal and non lethal liquids. For a smooth and progressive production it is important to have complete knowledge of the necessary materials. Production targets for every day, week and month are set according to the availability of the resources. In order to complete the huge target successfully, it is essential to have all the required elements in advance.

Procuring in advance saves the trouble of going through a shortage of anything which could derail the entire production process. This is why even liquids of all sorts are procured in bulk and stored within the premises. When there are too many tanks to be measured on a daily basis it is important to have a liquid level indicator attached to every tank. This indicator would let the related people know about the amount of liquids available in the tank. Knowing the availability of the liquids helps in the production planning and to monitor the production costs as well.

 The products of today are changed from the products that were used in the past. Today the market is more feasible to the products which are light in weight and are portable. This has caused the products to be made from plastic rather than metals and other heavy items. The use of plastic has increased the use of liquids in the factories. This increase of liquids in the factories has also increased the need for liquid storage tanks in the factories and other production units.

There are many toxic liquids now being used regularly in the factories. Storing or holding toxic liquids requires special containers such as the single skinned containers. These containers are made from a single sheet of alloy and hence there is no other opening than the pipe that is used for filling and the other pipe which is used to pull out the liquids from the other end. Hence there is no other way to get inside the tank. The only method to measure the liquids inside these tanks is the portable ultrasonic liquid level indicator which can measure through the walls of the containers. The ultrasonic waves penetrate the walls and measure the liquids inside the containers.
